    Results are in for the 23rd (dont go spending it all at once) and the app has had and update to show power down and power up sessions in the same table. Thought they had forgotten about power-ups.

    Nothing for us from the 23rd - which is pretty much as I predicted.

    23,24 & 30 June 16pts for each hour. Not bad for doing nothing different to any other night.

    By the time the other sessions are calculated I'll be about £11 up for the month.

    Already slightly better than break-even for the month of June anyway so this just adds to the funds for winter.

    I should have earned about £3 for June. Not a huge amount but it all adds up!

    My latest Octopus bill export payments were greater than my electricity import & SC, too.
